New Delhi, Mar 12 (IBNS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) might field former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir as a candidate from Delhi for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, NDTV reported.

Gambhir may contest the polls from New Delhi parliamentary constituency, which is presently held by BJP's Meenakshi Lekhi.

Lekhi might be field from any other Lok Sabha constituencies of Delhi, which in total has seven seats.

Though Gambhir remains vocal on a number of issues, the south-paw remained mum so far about joining politics.

Gambhir is also known as a critic of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal.

In 2014, the saffron party had won all seven Lok Sabha seats of Delhi.
